In an article that highly criticizes judges' and lawyers' over-reliance on internet search engines factoring into their decisions, the American Bar Association Journal cited as one of its examples the common law case of Strange Music v. Strange Music that took place this summer in the Federal Court in NYC.
"IN GOOGLE WE TRUST? Critics Question How Much Judges, Lawyers Should Rely on Internet Search Results"
"...In July, U.S. District Judge P. Kevin Castel * searched Google and Yahoo! to check on a music composer's claim that hip-hop label Strange Music was infringing on the name of his company, Strange Music Inc. Castel found thousands of "strange music" references on the Web, but concluded that consumers wouldn't be confused. He denied the request for a preliminary injunction. Strange Music Inc. v. Strange Music Inc., No. 04 Civ. 02915 (S.D.N.Y. 2004)."
